    <h1>About The Nurbs</h1>

    <p>
        Star Date 2014 and the Nurbs has just come back on line.  While upgrading my skillset and converting this site from ASP to MVC, I took the oppertunity to get the old Nurbs site working again.
        I hadn't seen it for several years and frankly, I was surprised just how good it was.  I mean, I have dabbled with music, painting, drawing and any other sort of artistic endeavour
        you could think of and nothing I have done topped this.
    </p>
    <p>
        Skip back 10 years and it is 2004.  Not sure why, but I brought a couple of copies of <a href="http://www.creativebloq.com/3d-world-magazine">"3D World Magazine"</a> and got the 3D bug for a while.
        It came with a cheap/old version of <a href="http://www.maxon.net/">"Cinema 4D"</a> which was enough to get started.  This was the era of dialups and geocities and I suppose I thought websites were beyond me.
        I really wish I had kept it going.

        Skip back about 10 years before that and I had just started reading the "Guardian" newspaper.  The only real reason I chose that over the
        others was that it ran <a href="http://www.gocomics.com/bloomcounty">"Bloom County"</a> on its funnies page.  It appealed to me on so many levels and really tickled my funny bone.  It had
        great characters, long story arcs and a decent gag every day.  The "Billy and the Boingers" storyline is one of my all time favourite comic
        stories.  Ack!

    <h2>Ted</h2>
    <p>It has been said that he is a bit of a square.  In shape and in character.</p>
    <h2>Bob</h2>
    <p>Not the sharpest cyclinder on the planet, but then again cylinders don't really have sharp pointy edges, unlike some people ...</p>
    <h2>Suzy</h2>
    <p>Nuff said.</p>
